#232Forgejo also has a roadmap for federation but it looks like development is progressing rather slowly: https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/m...
Re: We need a federation of forges
#233I don't know how new Tangled is, but there is a fairly mature github alternative being built on Nostr: https://gitworkshop.dev/ The basic idea is that you can put your repository on multiple GRASP-compatible nostr relays (GRASP is a sub-protocol that glues nostr and git together), so even if one server goes down you can transparently sync using the others. This means in effect 100% uptime if you choose reliable serve…
Correct me if I'm wrong but the project you're referring to appears to be closed source.
It's all open source, hosted on nostr itself. See the creator's profile for all related repos:

#234How will this end up going any better than Mastodon has? Near inevitabilities: - All the small instances defederating from the largest due to politics/spam/annoying noobs/whatever, effectively killing the easiest path to entry into the community - Pointless debates about whether it’s OK to federate with instances that host pirated content, disagreeable politics, furry VNs, etc., which everyone has to take a side (the…
Atproto isn’t “many servers sending messages to each other”. It’s structured more like RSS: 1) there’s an app-agnostic hosting layer (and anyone can run a host, a bit like personal site with RSS) 2) then there’s apps, which aggregate over data from all hosts (a bit like Google Reader or Feedly) So there’s no such thing as “defederating”. You don’t have many copies of Tangled beefing with each other. It’s more like yo…
Thanks, that does seem better for this use case!

i am unable to access any repository on that website. for some, it complains that ssh or https URLs are not supported by my browser? and for others its just loading indefinitely with `Failed to load file tree`. maybe its not fairly mature.
Sounds like a misconfigured repository. Try for example https://gitworkshop.dev/danconwaydev.com/relay.ngit.dev/ngit...

not that mature — its name violates git’s trademark policy https://git-scm.com/about/trademark
Do github, gitea, and gitlab not?

#237[flagged]
catpart is definitely NOT someone with a long history of railing against anything vaguely connected to ATproto: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46670016
catpart has totally 100% provided a citation for the "fuck the users" moment (sike): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46672904
the actual "fuck the users" moment is described here [4,3095771], wherein a group of activists failed to get a person (Jesse Singal) they deemed unpalatable deplatformed from Bluesky, mostly by claiming that this person broke the ToS, and the Bluesky moderators mocked the activists in public.

#238In what sense do we need Tangled if there's already ForgeFed?
What a strange question.

Re: We need a federation of forges
#240I'm sorry but I will never use this. I don't want a federated protocol and I absolutely do not want "social". The Git protocol is enough to distribute my source code to any Git server, so that part is complete. What I need, in addition and separate from Git, is a standard API schema for all the other SDLC bits: CI/CD, PRs, Issues, Packages, Containers, Branch Protection, etc. The API should not be a specific transpor…
